Fun Outdoor Summer Watermelon Birthday Session in Houston TX

Happy birthday to cutie pie Collyns! Her outdoor & natural Light Children's Session features an adorable watermelon smash in Houston Texas.

Greetings, folks! Howdy to you! Welcome to my blog. If this is your first time visiting, you're in for a treat since I'm showing you a super adorable toddler today; however, if you've been here before you may notice I mostly feature newborn sessions. Nonetheless, many of these sweet babies happen to be baby plan clients, too, so at some point they do turn one or hit another milestone, such as 6 months, so here and there you'll see a post showing little ones, too.

Happy birthday to one of my long time clients! I first met this beautiful baby girl at her newborn session and it's already been a year! Her mama contacted me for one year portraits in a natural, outdoor setting. Since C's favorite food is watermelon, what better way to celebrate the big O-N-E than a sunrise session featuring vintage inspired images showing a precious baby eating watermelon, huh? Ha! 

Here are a few of my favorites from her watermelon themed first birthday shoot!

When we arrived, there was plenty of Texas heat and humudity to go around, but baby girl was all smiles. Such a pretty little love - her pink headband is too cute on her! We used a rocking horse from her nursery, too. The quilt is mine, but it is fun when clients bring special heirloom pieces from home. They add a special touch to your session. 

After the rocking horse, we did a variety of sets up from the actual watermelon smash in my antique cream high chair to a bubble bath where baby can splash and play. After these, we let her have fun and sit on a quilt just enjoying her yummy fruit.

Thanks for stopping by! I look forward to showing more sessions later this week. Have a great Tuesday, friends. Wishing you all my joy today.

Warmly,

Sarah

Fresh, Gorgeous Neutral Baby Boy Session | Meet Jakob

Baby Photographer, Sarah Borchgrevink, serves the Greater Houston Area including The Woodlands, Spring, Conroe and Magnolia Texas. Welcome Baby Boy Jakob - 7 days fresh and new.

Greetings, friends! Happy Tuesday to you! I hope you're having an awesome day and up to something fun with your family. Today I am at my desk working on business tasks, but I am also excited because a sweet baby girl is coming to my studio in a few hours. For now, however, I'm going to show off this absolutely precious little boy who visited recently. His name is Jakob. At 7 days old, he visited my all white, organic Houston Newborn Photography studio and slept wonderfully for me. He weighed around 7 pounds and loved the cozy wrapping. Here are some of my favorite images of his session.

Jakob's parents were sweet as can be. They chose to not do family images and focus on baby. They selected me petite collection, which offers a wonderful array of images from super cute wrapped portraits, floor props, naked bean bag posing and of course the fantastic macro images that truly capture the unique aspects of your new baby.

Mom relayed she really is a fan of neutrals, however, is not opposed to perhaps a bit of color such as navy blue. They came from The Woodlands, which is just north of Houston, and I made sure their entire session was set up so we could begin on time. 

During their baby session, the little ones love to be wrapped! Parents always marvel at how easily they fall asleep. Moreover, this keeps baby sleep so we can utilize many props and set ups. For example, this enables me to use two floors props. Examples of floor prop choices are buckets, bowls, baskets, crates, boxes, all of which are antique and vintage inspired to reflect my personal tastes. I must note: always research your newborn photographer's portfolio to ensure you're a good fit. :-) I do a lot of color but am not opposed to a neutral session here and there, such as this one. 

Baby Boy has gorgeous skin! He is simply glowing and is the picture of health. His full head of hair, cup lips, button nose, chubby cheeks and sweet smile simply made my heart soar. He also was very curly and fun to pose; I truly like for baby to look as timeless and simple as possible. While newborn photography truly is a custom art, it should look effortless in the final images, despite it being anything but easy. I am formally trained and have taken many workshops on safety, lighting, posing, flow, wrapping and post processing of your images. This is why I take your investment very seriously.

Ahhhh! That sweet, sleepy yawn! These are always favorites of mine since images such as this truly show off the baby and their personality. 

The rest of this handsome fellow's petite posed newborn collection featured naked posing. Here are my favorite images. :-) I hope you enjoy!

Sweet & Simple Neutral Inspired Photos | Houston TX

Sweet, classic and simplistic newborn portraits by Houston TX Newborn Photographer Sarah Borchgrevink.

Here's what J's mama had to say about her newborn experience:

Sarah did an amazing job photographing our sweet little boy! She listened to what I had in mind and implemented it beautifully; I couldn't be happier with the final product!! I highly recommend you to consider Sarah to capture your newborn photo session, she will not disappoint.

Greetings and good morning to you! I'm thrilled you're here at my blog. Please allow me to introduce a charming baby boy who recently visited my studio. J came to see me when he was around 9 days old. He slept beautifully for me and I could not help but be in awe of how precious his sweet little face is. When booking, his mama requested I style the session so it is timeless, classic, simple and sweet. This in mind, I kept the color scheme very neutral and pulled inspiration from all things soft and organic, such as white, cream and a little bit of grey. I even added a muted baby blue and very light brown with tan textures in order to add a tiny bit of pop to the portraits. 

During my time with J, he loved to be wrapped. This makes baby feel safe, secure and helps them sleep during the posing. My studio is also kept at 77 degrees or so. This mimicks the environbemnt of the womb. A full belly, lots of white noise and a warm room are the key to an adorable newborn session.

Those little toes, fingers and his nose - so small yet perfect.

Don't you think the blue looks lovely on him? This hand knitted bonnet is made by one of my favorite vendors in Italy. She has precious creations that are perfect for your sessions. I adore using her props and designs.

And of course, here are my favorite family images. All collections do include family, parent and sibling images if you'd like to do so. J is the first little one so sibling was not applicable though we did focus on images of dad with baby, mom with baby, and of course this beautiful couple together. While getting in front of the camera may feel a little intimidating, please know I am here to guide you with outfit advice, plenty of positive praise during our posing and of course I make sure you feel comfortable being we begin the photo process.
